gsutil cp reports OK but file does not exist in bucket

Hello,

I’m trying to recursively copy data from a local storage to a Google Storage bucket using gsutil cp

The command issued is gsutil -m cp -R -L gsutil.log /root/backup/ gs://MY_BUCKET_NAME/

Even the log file shows OK for all files - here is a line of a missing file from the log

file:///root/backup/2015-10-06T181356Z/2015-10-06T181356Z-full/bucket-simplehms/node-167.114.225.106%3A8091/data-0000.cbb,gs://MY_BUCKET_NAME/backup/2015-10-06T181356Z/2015-10-06T181356Z-full/bucket-simplehms/node-167.114.225.106%3A8091/data-0000.cbb,2015-10-06T18:21:07.929552Z,2015-10-06T18:21:09.923508Z,+cKX5JW5ddtJgzK34S9A7g==,,38612992,38612992,OK,

even though everything reports the file transfer as OK some of the files (i.e. the one in the log above) do not exist in the Google Storage bucket.

I’ve tried gsutil ls and the Google Developers Console to ensure it’s not a display issue, it’s not visible in either of them - it just shows an empty folder …

similar happens for me, steps: -I create a file with my own user (gsutil cp) | OK -I delete the file from the bucket with my own user (gsutil rm) | OK -a service user tries to create another file with the very same name | gsutil reports all good, but the file never appears in the bucket

It turns out this was an issue in the Google Cloud Platform UI where %3A on the URL was improperly being translated into a colon in the URL. Until that’s fixed, the workaround in the UI is to manually percent-encode the percent sign in the URL, i.e., replace %3A with %253A
